Interesting News Snippets

Tough!

Wonder how many have gone out there and found that their “holy war” isn’t quite as holy or one sided as they perhaps thought, discovering that this isn’t play station and that there are a good number who don’t subscribe to their beliefs and fight back.

As long as they die in Syria and not here. I shed no tears for them.

The headline in today’s D. Tel. informs us that up to thirty Islamic jihadists formerly domiciled in this country have been killed in Syria and elsewhere. The total could be higher at perhaps fifty.

Some, might take some quiet and not-so-quiet satisfaction at this outcome but, consider; these were primarily young men, who died fighting for the fiercely held beliefs. They died believing in their immortality and their passport to Paradise. They died for their cause.

We would all do well to remember this.

Did any one see last night, that rather amazing and revelatory TV program on the sinking and grounding of the Italian cruise liner Concordia ?

The film on show was shot by passengers carrying video cameras and mobile phone cameras. It was of excellent quality. There was evidence of panc among crew and passengers but, on the whole, the conduct of many, apart that is from the Captain, was exemplary.

I would think that this collection of films would make an excellent SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) instructional video. The Captain is plainly ‘out of his depth’ (no pun intended) and much of what followed can be laid at his lack of direction and command.

We have had threats before and that has not stopped us. I believe it is the other way around its the silent Islamic population that runs scared in this country. If they spoke up things like Rotherham and 7/7 may not have happened.

My newspaper carries a brief report concerning the possibility of British air strikes on Islamic State fighters in Iraq and Syria.

I don’t think that this will take place. I think that the reason why this hasn’t already happened is because of fears concerning opposition from our resident Islamic population. If my reasoning is correct, it demonstrates a belief that many have held for some time namely, that British foreign policy is being shaped by the possibility of internal threats linked to violent street action.

That is certainly my experience.

By 52% I recall. My entirely subjective experience of many years travelling and living in France lead to me to the conclusion that there was far more warmth to us in rural France than urban France.

This is interesting, tho’ not entirely enexpected. A report in today’s D.Tel. issued by German pollsters shows that the larger EU member countries would like Britain to stay in the EU but, France, La Belle France, would like to see us leave !

There’s gratitude for you.

John I can see the increase in vigilanty patrols and summery justice meted out to the perceived perpetrators.
As for the Police they are either thick or bent(the bent ones falsify the records)the thick ones don’t notice!

Why are we paying the Police? Ask our Chief Constable. Oh silly me you can’t see link

So, the statisticians were right after all about levels of crime falling in this country ? Except that they weren’t. At least three newspapers report that the Police are failing to record and therefore investigate burglaries, motoring and street crime.

More than that they are inviting the public to make investigations themselves. So, pipe puffing, deer stalk hat wearing, magnifying glass in sweaty hand amateur ‘tecs are likely to be seen in increasing numbers on our streets anxiously pursuing sundry Bill Sykes clutching bags of swag while Plod looks on. An interesting scenario !

Why are we paying the Police ?

There has been surprisingly little discussion on this forum regarding the criminal horror in Rotherham. Incidentally can this city ever live down their image and reputation?

This point has been made elsewhere and I repeat it here, that seemingly, with great effort, the family of the sick young boy who – from what I can glean – required additional treatment not available in this country, then had the apparent gall to remove him from the embrace of the medical staff at a Southampton Hospital intending to get this sick child to a hospital equipped with a proton beam machine which, allegedly, offered a chance of better treatment.

At this point the muck hit the fan and the British and Spanish police equipped with European Arrest Warrants and more of the repressive trappings of State interference moved in and arrested the parents, flung them in clink and forbade any of the family to visit the child now in hospital in Malaga.

Can you imagine what this cruel and vindictive treatment and separation have done for the child and his family ?

Contrast the speed with which all this has happened, the swift actions of the police, and the judiciary and contrast this action with the complete lack of interest and therefore action over a period of sixteen years and the suffering attached thereto for those innocent and ignored children of Rotherham.

The indifference was due, apparently, to fears of accusations of racism from the Asian paedophiles involved in the merciless exploitation of these children. Truly the pursuit of multiculturalism is complete and we can all be very satisfied.

We were not blind. The stinking evidence was scooped up and brushed away out of our sight by people in positions of responsibility too scared to upset the multicultural apple cart. The whole episode sickens and revolts me. Exacerbated by the fact that none has offered their resignation. I hope criminal actions are sought against those, police and civilian, suspected of complicity. What price Macpherson now??

Once again, the revolting and sickening details of how 11, 12 and 13 year old girls were subjected to years of sexual sadism by primarily Asian perverts has hit the headlines.

Ignored and deprived of the protection of the State’s agencies, where could these children turn for help? Can their parents be regarded as anything less than complicit ? Did they not ask themselves where their children were and what they were doing in the early hours? Were they so lacking in the ordinary concerns of love and compassion that they were blind to what was going on ? This is the question that could be asked of everyone concerned with this moral cesspit.

Was everyone so terminally screwed up by fear of accusations of racism that they were completely inhibited from applying actions that would have prevented this fearful manipulation of childhood innocence? The answer is yes.

How could we be so blind.

To-day’s D. Tel. (Tues) carries a newspaper insertion called ChinaWatch. This is an eight page broadsheet inserted inside the Telegraph and is interesting in that its content appears to be primarily, Chinese propaganda.

There is however, a front page article about the enduring refusal of the Japanese to accept responsibility for their war crimes in particular those to do with the enforced sexual slavery of ‘comfort women’.

The Chinese estimate that about 400,000 women of various ethnicities were forced into sexual serfdom for the pleasure and ‘comfort’ of the Japanese armed forces.

The Chinese write that there has been no recognition by any Japanese Govt. of the types and scale of the atrocities committed by their military. We in the West are most familiar with the appalling treatment meted out to our PoWs in the Far East; what is not generally known is that European women were also used as ‘comfort women’ by the Japs.

Perhaps it is well to remember all this when next you are thinking of buying a new car.

Yes, I saw that report. Alice is in her Wonderland,

All grist to the mill:

“Wind farms were paid a record sum of almost £3 million in a single day this week not to produce electricity.
Strong winds amid the remnants of Hurricane Bertha left the electricity network unable to cope with the amount of energy being produced by turbines on Monday.
As a result National Grid paid owners £2.8 million to shut down their wind farms, at up to double the rate they would have received in subsidies had they actually generated electricity.
A further £1.1 million was given to other power stations to generate electricity to make up the shortfall created by shutting the wind farms down.
The money Рdetailed in figures provided by National Grid Рwill ultimately be added on to household bills and paid for by consumers.ӣ

You couldn’t make it up!!

Business for Britain, a Eurosceptic lobby group, says that EU ‘green policies’ are to blame for endangering the jobs of 1.5 million workers in Britain. In pursuit of ‘green’ policies the EU have saddled British business with current costs of about 9 percent extra possibly rising to 16 percent by 2030.

It is manufacturing jobs that are at risk with business leaders threatening to re-locate abroad to anywhere where energy costs are less. Opting out of renewable energy targets could cut energy bills the report goes on.

The cost to the nation of implementing renewable targets is estimated at £93 billion.

Yeserday’s Telegraph carries a front page headline concerning a possible medical breakthru’.

Heart transplants and associated surgery could be a things of the past if a current trial is successful. Sponsored by the British Heart Foundation, a trial has begun involving gene therapy to repair damaged hearts.

A medically engineered gene is inserted into the heart to boost the production of a key protein which it is believed will give a damaged heart a chance to recover and therefore offers genuine hope of an effective treatment for progressive heart failure.

If successful – wonderful news for those afflicted.
